“Good for the goose is good for the gander.” Have you ever heard of this phrase before today?

Yes it's a common phrase in the uk. Another version is sauce for the gander. It works because of G words and repeating oo sound.

A gander is a male goose.

Gander also means to take a look, because the bird stretches its neck to look at things.

Let's have a gander = Let's have a look.

Yup. It means if a rule or something else applies to one person it should apply to everyone else too.
